The Pelicans are looking to lock up their spot in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
New Orleans will host the Los Angeles Lakers in NBA Play-In Tournament action tonight at the Smoothie King Center.
A win would solidify the Pels as the #7 seed in the Western Conference and set up a first-round showdown with the defending champion Denver Nuggets this weekend.
The Pelicans wrapped up the regular season at 49-33 with a loss to the Lakers Sunday.
Coverage of tonight's game will be heard in the New Orleans area on News Talk 99.5 WRNO, starting at 6 p.m. with Pelicans Warmup followed by tip-off at 6:30 p.m.
Elsewhere, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors look to keep their season alive against De'Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings. The winner of the game will advance to play for the eighth seed on Friday.
In the East, the Philadelphia 76ers will host the Miami Heat in the seventh seed game on Wednesday. In other action, the Atlanta Hawks will pay a visit to the Chicago Bulls in a must-win situation for both squads.
